To All:
I had a DX-100B back in the 70's & 80's. Bought it for $25, some of the best
money ever spent, didn't miss the whiskey I could of bought. Had to rebuild
some sections of the band switch, looked as though someone hot-switched-it!
Great transmitter on the lower frequencies, 15 and 10 mtrs. it did drift
until the VFO settled down. Can't remember now too many years and don't have
a schematic now, there was a tube that went soft quite often, I could tell
when it was time to replace that little fire-bottle, the resting modulator
current would increase as the tube aged.
Other than the one tube going soft with age, good angle music transmitter.

... but was lots of fun for CBers nonetheless!
